NEDM (National Education Data Model)

 

Definition: As defined by SIFA, http://nedm.sifassociation.org/datamodel_review/Index.aspx, the data model is a catalog of the data used in PK-12 education and a description of the relationships among those data.

What This Means: NEDM is a CCSSO/USED/NCES sponsored effort to collect definitions and metadata on all of the key data elements in the PK-20 education space. The initial scope includes all the Federal reporting requirements (including EDFacts and many others), NCES Handbooks, and the SIF data model.
